SWEET shenanigans, y’all. Brace yourselves for the inundation of all things green, impish, and sometimes saintly. St. Patrick’s Day week (and weekend) is upon us. Use the beginning of the week to muster whatever strength you have to face the onslaught of revelers marching their way towards our fair city, or get any errands out of the way.
Isn’t it wild all the time and money people spend to be here for a few days, and we get to live here all the time? Got any events you’d like seen here? Email lilamillermedia@gmail.com. Stay safe, get lucky, and try not to get pinched, Savannah! 10
